No you were being argumentative when you say things like "doesn't change the fact" I wasn't trying to change any facts.
That guy was Republican Governor Hogan. He didn't get authorization until trump's OWN acting DOD authorized it 3 hours later. Quit playing ****ing games.
Approval from the secretary of defense. Quit playing games. Secretary of defense takes orders from who?? This show's how intellectually dishonest you are.
No one not even the governor is claiming Trump told the guard to stand down. It's not like Democrats would be scared to make this claim if they believed it. Until you have actual evidence stop bothering me

This is the best I can find: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/pence-national-guard/index.html Trump, who has proven over the past year to be eager to deploy the National Guard when violence breaks out, initially resisted doing so on Capitol Hill Wednesday as a mob of his supporters breached the building, per a source familiar. Pence played a key role in coordinating with the Pentagon about deploying them, and urged them to move faster than they were. Also, from NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/politics/trump-speech-incite.html Mr. Trump initially rebuffed requests to mobilize the National Guard, according to a person with knowledge of the events. It required intervention from Mr. Cipollone, among other officials, according to the person. About 1,750 National Guard troops from the District of Columbia and Virginia were to deploy Wednesday night, a National Guard spokesman said. No one quoted yet saying Trump refused to deploy them.
Stand down? What are you talking about? Hogan was waiting for 3 hrs to get authorization from trump administration to deploy his national guard to help. Again quit being dishonest

Not delaying the Guard and until you have evidence or have anyone making that claim you need to stop repeating it. Democrats want to impeach this dude in nine days, if they had evidence they would have presented it
To answer my own post let republican senator Ben answer https://thehill.com/homenews/senate...ighted-and-excited-by-reports-of-capitol-riot
